Occupied Quds – Saba:
The Israeli entity's broadcasting authority revealed on Friday that the Zionist enemy army has destroyed tens of thousands of relief supplies, including large quantities of food, intended for the residents of the Gaza Strip, who are facing unprecedented famine.
The broadcaster cited military sources in the enemy army stating that the destroyed aid included the equivalent of 1,000 trucks loaded with food and medical supplies.
The sources added, "There are thousands of packages left under the sun, and if they are not transported to Gaza, we will have to destroy them," according to the Sanad News Agency.
The sources claimed that the destruction of the humanitarian aid was due to "a flaw in the aid distribution mechanism in Gaza."
Earlier on Friday, the Government Media Office in the Gaza Strip announced that the death toll from famine and malnutrition in the enclave had risen to 122, including 83 children.
The Palestinians in Gaza have been suffering from a hunger crisis since the Israeli enemy closed the Strip's crossings in early March and imposed severe restrictions on the entry of food, relief aid, fuel, and medicine into Gaza since October 2023.
Over time, Gaza's residents have exhausted all food resources, leaving stores empty and making finding a loaf of bread nearly impossible. Meanwhile, the prices of available goods have skyrocketed, turning "death by starvation" into one of the leading causes of death in the Strip—and the most brutal.
The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) stated that tons of aid are waiting at the border with Egypt, pending permission from the Israeli entity to enter Gaza. The available aid would be sufficient for all Gaza residents for three months.
With American and European support, the Israeli enemy army has continued to commit genocidal crimes in the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, resulting in the martyrdom of 59,676 Palestinian civilians, most of them children and women, and the injury of 143,498 others—as of today. These figures are not final, as thousands of victims remain trapped under rubble or in the streets, unreachable by rescue teams.
